Comments

[leggierissimo]

[... well, it might be, if he had met you before! As it is, the rather oddly cheerful greeting catches his attention, and he turns to look over his shoulder. ... another strange one. Wonderful.

But, no need in being impolite. He'll smile, at least!]

That's typically what people do when meeting each other for the first time, yes.

[notsogrimreaper]

A-Ah! Yeah, I just meant since you're a Reaper and I'm a Reaper and-

[All the embarrassment.]

Anyways, my name is Ryoji Mochizuki. Pleased to meet you!

[leggierissimo]

... well, I suppose you do have a point. Since we'll be working together and all~

[He already knew the names of the majority of the other Reapers. Unfortunately. At least it had it's advantages.]

Joshua. It's a pleasure, Ryoji-kun.

[notsogrimreaper]

The pleasure's all mine, Joshua-kun!

[Offers a hand to shake, then tenses a little.]

So... we do need to erase others, huh?

[leggierissimo]

[... a handshake. Well, he doesn't really see the harm in it. He'll at least return it.]

That's right. My, you must really have been paying attention during your orientation.

[notsogrimreaper]

[That hand that shook Joshua's is now up to rub the back of Ryoji's head in embarrassment.]

R-Really? I was actually pretty confused during most of it.

[leggierissimo]

I've noticed that that seems to be a common trait around here.

[Don't mind him as he pulls his phone from his pocket, flipping through it for a moment. Ugh, still no reply...]

[notsogrimreaper]

Yeah, that makes sense, if we all come from different worlds...

[Silent for a moment before SUDDENLY BEHIND YOU.] What are you looking at?

[leggierissimo]

[askdjfhsa excuse you. His cell phone is closing with a 'clack!' fairly quickly.]

Do you make it a habit of getting into other people's business?

[notsogrimreaper]

[Backs off with a bit of an embarrassed grin.]

Ah, sorry! I guess I'm just naturally curious.

[leggierissimo]

[Sigh. Why him.]

I'm waiting for someone to call me back, if it's that important that you know.

[notsogrimreaper]

Oh, I see! I know that feeling, when you're waiting for a call but you never seem to get it...

[leggierissimo]

That seems to accurately sum up this week so far.

[notsogrimreaper]

Yeah... I kind of just hope those texts don't come.

[leggierissimo]

[... raising an eyebrow!]

Why not?

[notsogrimreaper]

Well, if they didn't come... I wouldn't have to do my job, right?

I-I wouldn't have to hurt anyone. And everyone else could be safe.

[leggierissimo]

[Ah. That's what he's talking about.]

At the same time, if you don't do this, you'll eventually cease to exist.

[notsogrimreaper]

... That wouldn't be so bad for me, heh. I just want the others to have another shot at life.

[leggierissimo]

... well, it certainly seems like you joined the wrong side.

[notsogrimreaper]

I-I didn't realize what they were asking me. I didn't want to join the Game, because I don't deserve this second chance... but instead they stuck me in this job.
